Just echoing comments by other users. Here in NS - both my husband and I experiencing frequent disconnection from network, have to restart phone. What’s going on? Started yesterday.

Can't use data since Sunday May 24. My wife has the same issue (along with so many others I see). We are in Nova Scotia. When will this issue be fixed?

[Zoe69]

My data isn't working I have reset my network and my subscription is not due to reset till the end of June.  What is wrong with the system?

[Jsteele1984]

Down in Kitchener for days now.

[Arctic_Angel]

I hope they make an announcement on the community forum when it's resolved

@Joshpeters 

if you've been a Public Mobile customer for any time, you'll know that this is a very rare occurrence indeed. Usually very stable/reliable service. I know that doesn't help this minute, but know that they're working to fix and get back to great service again.

Hello

Just wondering if there are any reported outages in the Northeast are of London. My phone does not have any internet connection when not connected to wifi

[Maren666]

Thank Gawd! I've been going in circles trying to figure it out. Just glad to hear it not a "me" problem!! I'm in NB and I first noticed it when I left the house on Monday!

[Pleaseno999]

same  problem, not hearing anything from Public Mobile I will have to abandon them today.

I heard from others in NS with same issue. I think Customer Support is overwhelmed with inquiries right now so you likely won't get a reply quickly. We all hope this upset is short lived...hang in there.

[Joshpeters]

Just joining the club of people who have no service right now in hopes that public will do something about it… 

go from having 5g to a few bars but no service at all and can’t get service until I turn airplane mode on for 15 seconds then turn it off. 
public, if you are seeing this. You have a week to fix this before I leave. The price has been great but if it’s inconsistent it’s not worth it. I have also noticed my service getting weaker and weaker over the last couple of months. 

[Gaynor]

Just received this through the CS_Agent ticket/chat forum:

“Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Please be advised that there is currently an ongoing service issue. We recognize the importance of maintaining full service functionality and wish to assure you that our technical team is actively investigating the situation to reach a resolution as promptly as possible. We will provide further updates as they become available; however, you should observe your services returning to normal operation once the matter is resolved.“

No data service for at least a week. Reset no help.  How to get help?

[RayB234]

I have done all three of those things, no luck yet. In contact with an agent who has acknowledged it is a wider issue that is being worked on.

@JayJang 

many others in Kitchener/Waterloo having same experience. Public Mobile / Telus is aware and working on a fix asap. Restart your cell every once in a while to see if things improve for you.

Hi everyone,

I have been experiencing serious network issues since the beginning of this week in the Waterloo region.

The strange thing is that my phone usually shows 2–3 bars of signal, but calls and text messages barely/NOT work. Most of the time I cannot make or receive/make a calls at all, and the mobile network seems almost completely dead. Occasionally it comes back for a short period, but then stops working again.

I’ve noticed the issue both at home and at work, so it doesn’t seem to be limited to a single location.

A few additional details:

• Using eSIM

• The phone shows "Unknown Number" under the eSIM information

• I already tried resetting network settings

• Restarted the phone multiple times

• Signal bars appear normal, but service is unreliable or unavailable

I'm trying to determine whether:

1. There is a Public Mobile network issue affecting the Waterloo/Kitchener area, or

2. My eSIM/account may be corrupted and needs to be replaced or reactivated.

Has anyone else in Waterloo, Kitchener, or nearby areas experienced similar problems recently?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I need a reliable connection for calls and messages and would like to resolve this as quickly as possible.

Thanks!

[MaggieN]

Tried it...nothing. Thanks for the help though. Ticket sent.

[slusagm]

it can be fixed by Reboot the phone and Reset network settings.  If still cannot connect, try changing network mode to 4G or LTE and reboot phone once more

What is going on?  Literally no service.  I've tried everything and the best I can get is a few bars that die out to nothing after a few seconds.  The least public mobile can do is send out an announcement that they're having issues on their end to keep their forums from blowing up.

[IkainthY]

Per your suggestion I used someone else's wifi and brought up the App and found Transfer Your Number under Account.  Entering my # produces the message invalid Canadian phone #.  Man, incredible.  They won't provide the service while already having pulled my money and don't provide data/service and now won't even let me transfer out
